About Greenwood
Greenwood is a residential care home in Bexhill on Sea supporting older people, including adults with learning disabilities and autism, people with physical disabilities and people who have sight or hearing loss. We also offer planned respite stays. We treat this as a home first and a care setting second. The people living here have their own rooms, their own routines and a genuine say in how the place runs, and our staff fit around them rather than running everybody to one timetable. Support covers personal care, medicines, meals, money and the practical work of a household, and we stand back wherever somebody can manage without us. The detail is where most of the real work lies. How a person communicates, what makes an environment feel manageable, how much warning they need before something changes, which parts of the day they want to handle alone, and how they want to be helped with a physical disability are all things we learn from the person rather than assume. Where somebody has sight or hearing loss, we take care over how we approach and speak with them. Respite stays give family carers a proper rest and let people see what we are like before making a longer decision. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit, and talk to the people who live here.
